[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: does Sidwell think of itself as a strong sports school (outside of girls and sometimes boys hoops which are legitimately good)?  I always thought the parents were fine with it being weak in sports. [/quote]

No, Sidwell does not think of itself as a strong sports school, overall. As a parent I personally welcome the added attention to sports. [/quote]

But also, relative to what? The only sports school was Bullis but we are regularly beating them so yes it is strong.

I also love the focus on sports and would like see more development opportunities and non-traditional sports in house as well[/quote]

You think Bullis is the only sports school?  How do you think Sidwell would do against in football against Gonzaga or St. John’s or Good Counsel or really any school since they refused to play even a MAC schedule? In lacrosse, Sidwell lost to Potomac and St. Andrews by 18-1 and 17-2 goals and those are nowhere near the strongest teams in the area.

[b]Even in basketball Bullis beat Sidwell and Paul VI won by around 20.[/b] Bishop O’Connell also would have likely beaten them easily had they played. So you might want to check bumping your chest too much. [/quote]

Did this occur years ago? If you weren’t aware, Sidwell has won back-to-back MAC (boys) and ISL (girls) basketball championships. And both teams have advanced to the 2024 DCAAASA semi-finals this weekend. I don’t even know where Paul VI or Bishop O. are located. [/quote]

Yes Paul VI which is located in Loudon County Virginia beat Sidwell by 18 this year in boys basketball.  Bullis beat Sidwell this year also. There are a total of five area teams ranked in the top 25 in the latest ESPN high school basketball rankings: Paul VI, Bullis, Gonzaga, Jackson-Reed, and Bishop O’Connell (Arlington).  Sidwell is unranked. [/quote]

Loudon County explains my complete lack of knowledge and interest in Paul VI.
Did Paul VI and Bullis win league or state championships this year, too?[/quote]

Paul VI is ranked #2 in the country and won the WCAC.  Bullis is #16 and won the IAC.  So yes [/quote]
